An amazing app

This is truly an amazing app. I use it all the time for backing tracks and the sound quality is first class. It is so intuitive to use and easy to manipulate. 5 stars from me. Just waiting for the update that adds in the bass line….

As close to band in a box for iPad as you’re gonna get

This app is awesome. It’s probably the closest app to Band in a box that exists on the App Store. Lots of different strumming styles and the samples sound pretty good. I just with it was easier to enter the chords like how you can in biab. It’s quite frustrating to enter and then stretch each one or shorten them and if you miss something you can’t just see it all on one screen to be able to tell what you entered.
But that aside.. this apps worth a look

Audio distortion

After updating to a recent iPhone OS audio is now distorted. I have informed support but have received no response. Also, last app update has changed display layout to smaller text size which makes it harder to read. Finally, I informed support long ago that choice of white text on yellow background is illegible and that an option should be provided to change colour but they replied that I should accept it the way it is

Needs an update to fix an issue

Used to work perfectly. And I highly recommend the app for the developers need to look at an issue: after one of the updates, when you change the tempo an any given track, the sound quality of the track drops significantly. Never used to, but now it’s unplayable at any user-defined tempo

Excellent app and good practice tool

Really good for putting together backing tracks and to play around with different arrangements. The various loops are also helpful to practice various strumming patterns. What would make this into an outstanding practice tool would be a short description of the strumming pattern used in the various loops. When the strumming pattern would run above the various cords as three bars displaying when the bass note is played and when up and downstrokes are happening, then it could be used for an in-depth practice session.

Miss some type of chord

Where are diminished and augmented chord? It’s really useless without that

Fantastic work!

A truly arranger like app that works fantastic, the only thing is missing in order for me to use it more often is variations with in patterns or styles. When i select a style out of (about) 20 that are in this app i miss variation for verse; chorus variation for fill-in's ; brakes for bridges. Because different styles are recorded in different rooms using different echo or filters or microtones you can not put two together without noticing that both are recorded under different adjustments, and thats a bummer, when i find two styles that go together one is recorded closer to the microphone in a warm room like setup and the other one is recorded with an small but noticeable echo on a small stage with more expressed finger gripping and a march like taste to it. I am not saying the app is not useful, the app is great to put some ideas down before you go home but if this app will have variations with in styles at least two minimum and five ideal plus one fill at least and one brake then i believe this app will be way way more popular because there are thousands if not more apps that will let you built drum tracks and thousands that will give you options for bass tracks and keyboard tracks but its almost impossible to find an app that will give you a truly guitar strumming track like this app so if the builder of this app will add the options needed this is going to be a genius move. I wish you guys take this review serious. Good luck! 👍

Fantastic app

White font on yellow is really hard to read.
Please update the color of the font to something more legible. Otherwise I love the app and what it can do.

Good update and good app

The update is good. The app is nice. I wish was a little more intuitive, other than that now is pretty good. Two wishes, would be nice to have a setting for default chord size (now when you add a chord is always 2 bar) and one button to add a chord at the end of the song (with auto insert mode)

All Session Band apps hosed on iPad mini after update

Noise is all I get now. They have become worthless.

New Track Builder is awesome

The new track builder is an awesome update.

So you can Input sections... once for each section.... and easily create the entire song.

Not as good visually as iRealPro.... but sound a lot better.

I can play the song in this app to help me with timing.... while viewing the song in “fake” format in iRealPro... which doesn’t sound as good.

Not sure if they got audio bus stuff fixed. BUT THS TRACK BUILDER HELPS A LOT.

Excellent sketch pad

Brilliant tool for sketching ideas for songs or creating loops for soloing over. With a bit of patience whole songs can be put together and exported into other formats

Quality guitar loops

Thousands of guitar loops well played and every key. Very useful for songwriters and producers looking for some guitar in their productions without having to hire one!!! I also have Leo Cavello Sony Pack but with that you only get a selection and then have to auto transpose to get the right key. With this, there’s a full set and 20 or so styles and patterns.

Lots of content

There’s a lot of content I these apps. This one I found particularly useful, there’s always a need to get a quick backing track with just acoustic guitar. Helps me with my live set. Recent update has sorted a few bugs.

BAD ..REALLY BAD NOW

All these were great in the beginning but first they froze and would not play sound. Now they won’t even load up on a AUDIOBUS. All the products seem to have never kept up with the iOS updates....Don’t waste your money on any of these.

Invest a little time...

..and you will find this very helpful for creating backing tracks, developing song ideas or just having fun with when you are not near your guitar. Not five stars because the workflow isn’t massively intuitive and I’d like WAV recordings to be exportable via email...maybe I haven’t worked out how to do that yet. Overall, very useful tool and I have the others in the series.

Great for custom backing tracks

Edited review: no more crashes. Very useful for creating your own backing tracks. Can export tracks or just use within app and play it through any Bluetooth speakers to jam (really useful, not all apps have that feature)

File transfer system wrong!!!

You need to built file transfer system in your each app!!
I made chord session in multiband... but could not use in acoustic sessionband....
Apple opened and improved their file system in ipad ex; file app documents app etc.....
You have to make file attaching system in your each app!!!
If not.... every each app does not mean any more...
Your every apps are great!!!!
But if we can not use chord sb files freely.... then its nothing
Each apps can posesssb files
Do not tell me use computer!!!
Good luck to you!!
And sorry I am not good at english...

Very poor controls...

Can we please.... please.... PLEASE.... have a PLAY/STOP button on the EDIT window!?!
It is INCREDIBLY frustrating and hindering to workflow to keep having to switch backwards and forwards and then stop and start and back and forward again!!
Makes a potentially very useful app... into frustrating amateur rubbish!
